I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 71 Dear Basketball

After more than 3 hours of roasting, the turkey is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It looks browned and oily, crispy and crispy.

It is very big, more than 60 centimeters. Kobe found a long knife and scratched lightly on the turkey's belly. The crispy skin and meat spread to both sides, revealing the white chicken breast meat, onions, and celery. , dried cranberries and other offal seasonings, another burst of tempting aroma rushes towards you.

Kobe first cut off a turkey wing and put it on Chu Xiao's plate, "You've never eaten turkey, so I'll give it to you first."

This turkey wing is as big as an ordinary chicken leg, and it looks meaty and very stocky.

Chu Xiao immediately stopped being polite, cut off a piece of meat with a knife and fork, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

As much as hope, there is as much disappointment.This turkey tastes the same as chicken, but it is older than chicken and has a rough bite. It should be more like goose. Other than that, it has no special taste, which can be said to be superficial.

"Is it delicious?" Kobe watched him happily put the meat into his mouth, but frowned while chewing, guessing that he must not be used to it.

"Uh... the taste is not bad." After Chu Xiao swallowed it, he still replied very politely.

"Haha, if it doesn't taste good, it won't taste good, so don't be so scruples." Kobe laughed loudly, and Vanessa and Trish also covered their mouths and snickered.

Kobe then shared the delicious secret, "You have to eat it with sour jam, it's sweet and sour, it's absolutely delicious."

After Chu Xiao followed suit, the turkey meat was wrapped in sour fruit sauce and eaten together. It was really sweet and sour, and even the meat became tender. After chewing, the fragrance lingered on the lips and teeth. .

"En..." He nodded, "It really tastes much better!"

"Have some mashed potatoes after eating, I guarantee you will have a better aftertaste." Kobe said and scooped up another spoonful of mashed potatoes, watching him eat the turkey and mashed potatoes, the smile on his face was indescribably brilliant.

Next, they chatted and enjoyed the delicacies on the table. Beside them was the quiet seashore of the starry night. The moon gradually shrank its light, and the candles gently lit up the night. All in all, it was a sweet and delicious night.

After Kobe had two glasses of wine, he was slightly drunk. He sat there with a flushed face and asked Chu Xiao with a smile, "How did you two start?"

Under the influence of alcohol, Chu Xiao was also a little bit flustered. He held Tracy's hand and told how he was amazed when he saw her for the first time. After that, they rented a house, went to the supermarket, cleaned, cooked together, and their relationship grew. It slowly heated up imperceptibly, until he finally couldn't help kissing her when he was watching the night scene in Beverly Hills.

"Oh—the time you kissed her was the night you were arrested?" Kobe finally knew the whole truth, and couldn't help laughing wildly. After he stopped laughing, he took the whole thing as a joke and told Wa Ni Sha listened, and made her own daughter-in-law tremble with laughter.

Chu Xiao's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't help regretting that she spoke the truth after drinking.

However, the considerate Vanessa took the opportunity to help him back to the city, "Do you know how Kobe chased me back then? He was 19 years old and I was 16 years old. I was still a sophomore in high school. I often worked part-time in my spare time. As a model, one day I was invited to help shoot an MTV. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Kobe who was recording songs in the recording studio that night. He had an afro, liked chewing gum, and walked around. The girls were fascinated, screaming and running after him, I was the only one who didn't look him in the eye, and this fool sat down next to me and said, hey, let's go on a date. I God, I really thought he was an idiot at the time..."

Vanessa speaks lively and funny, turning the dining table into a sea of ​​joy.

After the dinner was coming to an end, Kobe swallowed a big mouthful of meat, touched the wine glass with Chu Xiao, drank the rest of the white wine, wiped his mouth, and leaned back in the chair with a look of satisfaction said, "You know? I've been thinking about something recently, that is, at this stage of my sports career, how to pass something to the world, and then tell them that life must have dreams. I especially like writing and movies, you Which method do you think is easier for young people to accept?"

Chu Xiao knew that the boss was good at writing because he had bought his autobiography.However, he didn't expect that the boss still likes to create movies, which is really surprising.

So he pondered for a moment and said, "You have already tried writing, why don't you try movies?"

"I have thought about this problem, but filming requires a longer script and finding actors to act. It is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, unless you do this after retiring." Kobe shook his head at this.

"It's not necessary to wait until retirement." Tracy interrupted suddenly, "I'm in charge of running the official account of the team, so I naturally know what young people like nowadays. In fact, they prefer to watch short animated films and short videos rather than lengthy movies. Wait, it saves time and looks convenient, I think you can make it into an animated short film, and with your influence, the communication effect will be very good."

"Is it really possible? But I can't draw." Kobe smiled helplessly.

"Who told you to draw it yourself." Tracy became interested in this, and saw her dancing and gesticulating, "We are in Los Angeles, and we have Hollywood, the world's top film and television base. You can invite them to help you create The most luxurious production team, you only need to be the screenwriter and producer, and at most you can dub the short film.”

"Yes!" Tracy's words awakened the dreamer, and Kobe excitedly patted the table and said, "I know the legendary animation director Glen Keane and the famous soundtrack composer John Towner Williams. I believe they will help me."

"But, what kind of story should I create?" Thinking of this, Kobe fell into deep thought again.

Chu Xiao looked at Jaina who was sitting diagonally across from him, but his heart was moved. The 6-year-old she looked so much like Kobe, so he burst out with inspiration, "I think you can write about a person who chases dreams since childhood." For example, he is only 6 years old, but he loves basketball, and he often likes to roll his straight socks into a ball shape, imagining how he will shoot the winning shot in the arena.”

Kobe also noticed Chu Xiao's gaze, and he seemed to see his childhood shadow in Gianna, so he continued, "At such a young age, he must have the perseverance to fight that ordinary people can't match. , he would run all over the basketball court, even if there was only one person, he also created an environment for himself to practice.”

"You can also combine the footage of the adult game with the children in the short film, which is more vivid and story-telling. I believe that after watching this short film, people will be moved even if they have no interest in basketball. , because I think it will be a surprise for them, when people meet their dreams again, it is always easy to be deeply moved." Tracy added.

"You guys are all so good. I really have a Lakers dream in my heart since I was 6 years old, and then I kept working hard for it until one day I made myself a member of it." Kobe felt. Faded.

"I understand this feeling. It's like I've always had a dream of becoming Kobe's teammate in my heart. I didn't expect it to come true one day!" Chu Xiao said with empathy, "I believe this story will resonate with many people, because Everyone is chasing their dreams and hoping that one day they will come true!"

"Ah, what should I do? I can't wait to start creating right now." Kobe found inspiration and motivation from it, and couldn't sit still at the dinner table.

When the three of them were discussing fiercely, Vanessa kept looking at them with a smile. Although she didn't say a word, she listened carefully. When she saw Kobe really stood up from the table, she was busy. Dissuaded, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush for this moment, and everyone is there, you have to create by yourself, so what's the matter if we are left behind."

Kobe blushed a little when he heard the words, and realized something was wrong, he lowered his head and kissed Vanessa affectionately, "Honey, you're right, I'm really too impatient."

Kobe, who returned to his seat, smiled shyly at Chu and Xiao, "You know, I will immediately implement any ideas I have, because I am a man of action, but Vanessa is my handbrake, as long as she One pull and I'll stop."

"You two are really the most loving couple of athletes I've ever seen." Tracy was sweetened by them.

"Why don't we think of a name for this clip first." Vanessa knows when to stop Kobe, and also knows how to say it to rekindle Kobe's interest, so she doesn't say much, but she always hits the point, "I What do you think of the dream journey of legendary superstars?"

"I think it's fine." Trish agreed with her name.

"No, no, no, it feels a bit annoying." Kobe smiled, "Let's come up with an approachable name."

"So what do you want to be named?" Vanessa said, looking at her husband.

"I already have an idea, but I want to hear the name Chu Xiao wants first." Kobe turned his attention to his right hand.

Chu Xiao had to say, "I did think of a name, why don't we say it together?"

"That's a good proposal! Say it together and see who's better." The two women who watched the scene encouraged and clapped their hands.

"OK! Then say it together, I'll count to three, three, two, one!"

"Dear Basketball!"

"Dear Basketball!"

Kobe and Chu Xiao said the same name almost in unison.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Kobe and Chu Xiao laughed the most, and they even stood up and hugged each other.

This is their tacit understanding, and it is also a true portrayal of them who have dreamed of basketball since childhood, and gradually became NBA stars from a little boy.

Because to a certain extent, basketball is their partner from childhood to adulthood, and it is also their other kind of love, the purest love.

Therefore, basketball is their "dear".
